Incirlik Air Base in Turkey has been placed on lockdown. The base is used by US, UK, Saudi and Turkish forces to run airstrikes against ISIS.
The power at the base was reportedly cut off after the coup attempt Saturday morning in Ankara and Istanbul.
And flights are grounded.
The Erdogan government believes the air base was used to launch attacks during the coup attempt last night.
Now this….
Turkey is holding the US military hostage at Incirlik.

Erdigan is going to radicalize to be more friendly to ISIS.
I bet Saudi Arabia is behind this.

Obola plans on surrendering to Erdogan before the November election.
It’s the only way to stop Donald Trump.

If the Bushes hadn’t exhausted our military capabilities and Obama hadn’t run this country into the ground we might just do something that would surprise everyone.
Bomb the hell out of Tehran, the Saudi oil fields and get Erdogan planted.
Get the hell out of Syria and deport all Muslims living in the CONUS.
Toss Putin a bone.

The Facebook page for the base claims operations against ISIS have resumed and flights are landing and taking off. That was the same page that claimed no explosions or gunfire occurred as the Turkish Police arrested the Turkish base commander and 10 officers. Situation normal in the Obama/Hillary universe. Big explosion at another Turkish air base sometimes used by NATO.

What about the nukes?
It's my understanding that the B61 bombs were moved out of Incirlik a while ago. I hope that's true.

I hope that’s true too but one has to wonder, especially since Obama is in power.

Somebody is lying. The Pentagon Press Secretary is reported to have said on the Incirlik FaceBook page that operations against ISIS have resumed and the base is back in operations.

Gosh.
Remember what it was like to have a real President?
This is what happens when you have a bowl of mush as our President.

This action by Erdogan is just the latest showing why the coup was necessary. He should be Erdo-GONE.

I dont take hostages often, but when I do I make sure that they are tactical nuclear bombs.
To not have a show of military support for our troops speaks to our Presidents ability.
